Turtles and tortoises are some of the coolest animals on the planet in our opinion. They live for so long, they're so resilient despite being so slow, they're chill and - don't forget - they're so adorable. They look like they're little prehistoric dinosaurs left on the earth from some time in the past, strolling around, watching the world evolve all around them. 

All turtles have that feeling to them, but baby snapping turtles really encapsulate that dinosaur image. On top of that, they might be some of the most adorable turtles we've ever seen. And considering how cute we think all turtles are, that's a real achievement lol.

Prepare yourselves for a cuteness explosion like no other, because imgur user hermesetas has shared their kittens with the world, and none of us were prepared. So tiny, so adorable, so energetic and happy. And what in the world makes our hearts happier than happy kittens in a warm and loving home? That's right, nothing. Happy kittens always make us happy without fault.

The internet has fallen in love with these awwdorable kittens, and you're about to as well. Because whether they're chill and snuggly or energetic and zooming around, these kittens are straight-up too cute for this world.

Okay, so as animal lovers, we normally say that all animals are cute. Yes, even the weird-looking ones are cute in their own way. Of course, it's hard to convince people of that sometimes. But! There is one full-proof way that we know of to convince anyone that an animal is cute, and that is finding the baby version of that animal. 

Because there is nothing cuter in this world than baby animals. Any animal in its baby form is double the adorableness, and there is no one out there who can simply withstand such cuteness. And so, we thank apoohneicie for collecting all of these cute baby animals and and the internet for making this thread go viral.
